Update on Projects and Priorities:



Fire Chief Search. Both finalists for the Fire Chief position, Chris Christopoulos and
Gregg Loyd, spent time in Denison this week. Their visit included a tour of the three fire
stations, meeting with the department directors, and an evening reception with Fire
Department staff. In addition to getting to know the candidates, the visits gave us an
opportunity to sell Denison as a great place to live and work. I will be meeting with the
Fire Department staff next week to get their feedback and then a decision will be made by
February 19.
CDBG Program Update. The CDBG steering committee met Friday, February 12 to
review and approve some significant program changes. Changes include a focus on
emergency only home repairs as well as infrastructure improvements in low to moderate
income neighborhoods in the future. The committee's recommendation will come to the
City Council for review and approval in March. Staff is planning to pursue a Section 108
loan of approximately $1.5 million for infrastructure upgrades beginning October 1,
2016, pending Council approval.
Main Street National Recognition. The City of Denison’s Main Street Program received
news this week as it was recognized as one of 58 nationally accredited main street
programs in the state. The following release was sent to the press:
2016 NATIONALLY ACCREDITED TEXAS MAIN STREET PROGRAMS
RECOGNIZED
NEW BRAUNFELS, Texas—The Texas Historical Commission (THC) commended Denison,
Texas for successful annual progress as a designated Main Street community, one of 58 to be
recognized this year.
City Manager’s Weekly Report
February 13, 2016
The Texas Main Street Program (TMSP) began in 1981 as one of the first state
coordinating programs in the country. 2016 marks TMSP’s 35th anniversary. Local Main Street
programs focus on responsibly utilizing a community’s historic assets for economic benefit and
to increase quality of life. During 2015, more than $216 million was reinvested into Texas’ 90
Main Street districts. Additionally, 327 small businesses and 1,710 jobs were created.
Main Street programs in Texas are staffed, but rely on community volunteers to carry out
the program. In 2015, Main Street volunteers reported more than 115,000 hours of work donated
in support of the program.
“For 35 years, the Texas Main Street effort has provided substantial return on investment
to local communities across the state,” said Mark Wolfe, THC Executive Director. “Recognizing
these individual local programs through an annual accreditation process proves that Main

Commission
Street’s ambitious annual goals are being achieved.”
The THC’s Texas Main Street Program (TMSP) made the announcement February 10 at
the winter gathering of Texas Main Street managers in New Braunfels, which is celebrating its
25th anniversary as a Texas Main Street city.
City Manager’s Weekly Report
February 13, 2016
“The combination of effort by Main Street volunteers, staff and other local partners reaps
great dividends. The state recognition and national accreditation recognizes these efforts,” said
Debra Drescher, TMSP state coordinator.
Accredited programs show above average performance in 10 categories on an annual
report. Selection criteria focus on planning, partnerships, staffing, volunteer effort, preservation
ethic, training, and program assessment through reporting. The state office also works with
programs throughout the year by providing various services based upon local needs.

still in violation. Initial notices were provided to homeowners in November 2015.

The City of Denison Recycle Program began in February 2013. The program is operated through Progressive
Waste Solutions of TX, Inc. The cost of this program is $2.95 per household. Of this cost, $2.00 is charged to
the customers, and $.95 is paid by the City. The citizens can request an extra recycle bin at $1.69 per month
which is added on their water bill. We hope this program will encourage our citizens to consider the
environmental impact of their daily living.

City of Denison
(903) 465-2720 | Fax (903) 464-4499
An RFP was advertised for a Compensation and Classification study to assess the current salaries
and pay plan for our staff. The deadline for bids is February 2, 2016.
Much HR staff time was spent updating the following in the payroll software:
-Tax Tables
-Health, Dental, and Vision Deductions
-Optional Life Deductions
-STD, and Specialty Care Deduction
-Boot and Uniform Deductions
Benefits
Through Brinson Benefits, we rolled out two new Health Insurance plans through TML for our
employees for 2016. Both are less expensive plans than we currently offer and the savings of the
City will be utilized to help buy-down the employees’ deductible, should they meet them. The
employees are excited about this Health Reimbursement Arrangement and the break in
dependent premiums. Our ancillary lines are with the following:
Life, STD, and LTD-Cigna
Dental and Vision-TML
Optional Accident, Hospitalization, Cancer, etc.-AFLAC
Much of our month was spent enrolling our employees through TML’s online enrollment system
and updating our deduction settings in the payroll software.
We also have been focused on meeting the requirements for Affordable Care Act reporting of
minimum essential coverage for our employees. Through TML, we have partnered with Greatland
who will be distributing 1095s on our behalf. We are responsible to collect the necessary data
and documentation from our employees and uploading it into Greatland’s portal. Although the
federal deadline has been extended, we are working rapidly to complete this reporting
requirement.
Civil Service
We accepted applications for the Police Entry-Level examination this month. The test date is set
for February 6, 2016. The Civil Service Commission has approved the use of a new entry level
examination. The new test is the POST offered through Stanard and Associates. We hope this
will increase interest and the pass ratio for our applicants.

Chief’s Summary:
January saw strong results from our recruiting efforts. We had more quality applicants from the latest test
than any other test we’ve given in the 4+ years I have been here. As a result, we hired 4 persons off the test
list and 2 of those are certified, meaning we were able to immediately put them in field training instead of
having to send them to academy as we did with the other 2 hires. Hiring certified officers when we can
helps to get them on the street sooner since they don’t have to attend an academy. By the way, 3 of the 4
we hired have Bachelor’s degrees so we are hiring a more educated staff as well.
Speaking of academy training, we are trying somewhat of an experiment with the 2 recruits that started
January 4. For the first time in our history, we are sending recruits to the Denton Police Academy. I and
the assistant chiefs made an on-site visit in December and met with the academy director as well. We were
all impressed with the program and the state of the art training facility.
The reason for trying a different academy is that we have not been satisfied with the training from the two
academies we have used in the past – Texoma Regional Police Academy and the Collin County Regional
Academy. They are good institutions but we have to go much deeper in teaching police fundamentals once
the recruit is out of the academy than we should so we decided to make the change to see if Denton will
give us a more fundamentally sound recruit and we believe they will. Denton is “old school” police
fundamentals using modern police methodologies. This doesn’t mean we will never use the other
academies again as much of the decision on where to send recruits turns on the next available class date.
None of the academies have the same start dates so it falls on when we hire the recruits in determining
which academy we use. However, if we get the results we think we will from Denton, we’ll use them as
much as possible.
January also saw the start of the Open Carry law in Texas and our officers have been trained accordingly.
Interestingly, we have had no incidents of even seeing a person wearing a gun holstered on their belt or
shoulder so it doesn’t seem to be an issue for the public so far.

We continue to wait with baited breath on the outcome of the bids for the dispatch center. Once council
approves a bidder, we are prepared to move forward as soon as possible since much of the background
work has been completed or planned. When completed, I strongly believe we will have a significant
increase in service and satisfaction from the public in regard to public safety.
We continue moving forward on our journey to greatness!
